Shakespeare and Company's doing a magazine!
This just in from Publisher's Weekly (although I should have known months ago, when Charlotte Mandell told me she was translating a Marie NDiaye story for "some magazine about Shakespeare & Co.").
Here are the details:
Paris Magazine, edited by former Granta managing editor Fatema Ahmed, will include fiction, nonfiction, and illustrations. The current issue, with a 5,000-copy print run, contains a new translation of a poem by Apollinaire by Beat Generation writer Lawrence Ferlinghetti, a short story by N’Diaye, and another short story by Jesse Ball.The bookstore will also award a 10,000 euro ($12, 292) prize every two years to the author of the best novella containing 20,000-30,000 words. Initial submissions are to be received by Dec. 1, 2010, and shortlisted entrants must submit their complete novella by March 1, 2011. The contest is open to unpublished writers only and there is an entry fee. Full details and entry forms will be made available on the bookstore’s website, on June 20, the last day of this year’s literary festival. The prize is sponsored by the De Groot Foundation.
Fire up those typewriters!
